'13 BMW F800GS - "one of the BEST"

Just took delivery of two '13 BMW F800GS and we are really loving to move from our 2010 F650GS. We find the ESA to be a big plus on the crappy paved roads we find around where we live and elsewhere. Can't wait to take them out for a real trip!

added some rox risers today. Cheryl has a TT GPS mount that she will need a different set up when she installs her risers too. I had 20mm on my 650 and they seem to do the trick. On the 800 I need more of a rise and pull back for some reason. Cheryl also feels the need for risers on this bike when she didn't on the 650. Still have to adjust them tomorrow. Move the brake and clutch perch a little to relieve the right brake line. Clutch is OK but want to perches to look even. No need to change cables.

Also, need to ride a bit to see exactly where I want the bars. I think I will get a wire harness for our GPS and mount so I can use it when not with Cheryl

you might have to relocate the GPS like Cheryl will. Have you thought about Aux lights? We have Denali lights and haven't seen an existing mount option yet to place them on the bikes.

I have SW Mototech crash bars and there are holes on each side where additional foot pegs could be mounted and I think they would also work for aux lights. That's the idea I am researching now, anyway. I'd hate to have to move my GPS, I really like where it is now since it makes it easy to glance down and see it and all the gauges.

we thought about mounting them on the crash bars...they would have to be inside the bars to avoid getting damaged if the bike drops. There is a place under the beak by the radiator that looks good if there was a bracket.

Good point, I would have lost my right side light already if they were mounted there.

I've also looked at PIAA aux lights and they have a mount that attaches to the nose and puts the lights inside the radius of turn signals so they'd be fairly well protected. You can also just get the brackets and It looks like they should work with other types of lights.
